Holding an axe in your offhand can reduce main hand damage

What happened?
I would consider this minor (if it's not practical to fix/more trouble than it's worth it's not a major issue), reporting so it's known
The "-3 Attack Damage" on Axes (so axes deal 1.8 damage) applies regardless if the axe is held in the main hand, or offhand (though it does not stack if you hold 2 axes).
This means that, for example, if you hold a netherite sword (unenchanted), and an axe in your offhand, it deals 5 damage instead of 8 damage.
The most noticeable case is if you hold an axe in your offhand, and try to attack with your fist. This does 0 damage, as in it prevents you from even attacking!
